# From 27 scattered AI ideas to a roadmap built in blocks.

An international industrial group wants to roll out AI across its sites, with a single AI tool imposed by its IT. Its sites had sent in 27 ideas, with no volume or effort figures.

**27** use cases sent in by the sites and reviewed in the workshop

**6** founding cases selected, built in an order that reuses the blocks

**1 to 4 weeks** of indicative build time per case, costed in the roadmap

The flow

1.  **27 ideas** Sent in by the sites, with no volume or effort figures.
2.  **Workshop** One day on site, case by case with the teams.
3.  **Matrix** Estimated impact and difficulty, built in the room.
4.  **6 founding cases** Selected for their impact and shared blocks.
5.  **Roadmap** Build order, durations, support models.

From collection to build order.

## The context

The group's head of manufacturing excellence wanted to scale. An engineer had collected ideas from the business units: 19 at first, 27 by the time of the workshop. No sheet gave volume, frequency or effort. Two constraints framed the work: only one AI tool allowed, the one in the group's office suite, and IT approval for every solution.

## What was done

- **A one-day workshop on site**: AI awareness, review of the 27 cases, an impact and difficulty matrix built in the room with participants, the limits of the imposed tool stated clearly.
- **A debrief**: six founding cases, a catalogue of blocks reusable from one case to the next, and a build order that uses each block twice.
- **An action plan per case**: sixteen sheets, with an indicative duration of one to four weeks and two possible support models.

Generic use cases, indicative positions: the real matrix belongs to the client.

## What the method brings

The group knows where to start, what each case reuses from the previous ones, and what fits within the authorised tool. The first cases are ready to hand to a development team, internal or external.
